RICHARD A. KOSUDA

I Love You Daddy!!!

Cris. Tracy and Kelly,
I did not know of Rich's passing until the Friday after his services. I still can't imagine this world without my dear friend. I know that you loved and cared for Rich. He love his family and his heart wss with his grand daughter. I will cherish all the really great memories that we had of being friends and working together. You have my condolences. I hope that we will remain in touch.

Chris
As you know I met you and Richie – Superman! A very long time ago, when calling from IC School looking to do a week end Hoe Down, dumb- dumb idea. After Rich stopped laughing and starting talking we had the best dance(s) ever.
From then on your lives and mine joined in friendship and love. You, Kelly, Tracey and Rich are and have always been family to me. You and Rich have saved me from harm many times and I will never forget it.
I remember all the fun and sometimes non-fun we had while working the dances, weddings and parties. Very long straws, peppermint sticks in our vodka, hanging ornaments on Rich's clothes etc. Then after all the work was down ----- HOT CHEESE BALLS! How he loved them.
The laughter, tears, jokes, smokes music, music, music will never be forgotten. The great CD's he made, Elvis, Johnny and Jo etc all a big part of our lives.
I know you and the girls are missing him now, but remember as I told you – “Superman is flying high above us now free from pain, worry and cancer.” He will protect you all and watch over you with love always.
I will miss him too.

I just heard of Rich's passing. I think of you often and the good times we had on 42nd St. It's hard to believe that Mike, Chuckie and now Rich are gone. My deepest sympathies to you and the family.

Dear Chris; I am so saddened by Richie's passing. I am his cousin Joe from Daytona Beach Florida and Ritchie always treated me with great kindness when I was little and visited Pittsburgh with my mom Mary. I have prayed for Ritchie and your entire family. With much love and sympathy.
